Thomas Jefferson ? ? U 10/17/64
Note: On Broadfoot list as Jefferson for the 20th and Thomas J for Cobb’s Legion. The regiment roster for the 20th lists him as Thomas Jefferson. The muster roll for the 20th is Jefferson, box 226, extraction 5, and record 67. A second entry for Thomas J. is box 226, extraction 5 and record 84 with alternate name of Jefferson. There is still another entry for Thomas of box 226, extraction 5 and record 85 in Cont’s Legion (I believe Cobb’s and Cont’s are the same). I believe the two are the same person. I have no details for his time in the Legion. He enlisted in the 20th GA on 2/22/62. Wounded at Malvern Hill, VA, 7/1/62. Wounded at Battle of the Wilderness, 5/6/64 Captured near Fort Harrison, VA, 9/29/64. Prisoner at Point Lookout, MD Took oath of allegience to US, was released and enlisted in US service 10/17/64. This would have made him a Galvanized Yankee or a Confed that switched. Have not identified the Union regiment that he joined. There were nine Thomas Belchers to Serve in the Union, but can't pin down a Thomas J. Two other Belchers served in Co. G (James and Solomon)and George W. in Co. C. In CWSR for Cobb's and 20th..

Married Tabitha Quintine Young. Father was Elijah Clarke Belcher. Brother of John Daniel (13th GA). May have lived in AR for a while. CWSR for 47 GA as Thomas P., but no on for 11 Batt'n. This concludes my list of Belchers in the Confederacy with names starting with P. thru T. Hope it helps someone pin down an elusive Civil War soldier. Also hope it generates plenty of feedback to help me fill in some gaps.
